For the second time, I go for refuge to the Buddha, For the second time, I go for refuge to the Teaching, For the second time, I go for refuge to the Sangha. For the third time, I go for refuge to the Buddha, For the third time, I go for refuge to the Teaching, For the third time, I go for refuge to the Sangha.’” And Sāriputta gave Rāhula the going forth. Soon afterwards Suddhodana went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, I want to ask for a favor.” “Buddhas don’t grant favors, Gotama.”
